PS5 Load Time and Framerate Real-Test Comparison
Slot the ZhiTai TiPlus5000 2TB SSD into the PS5, launch Splinter Cell Remake, and head directly to the performance stats screen. Run benchmark mode with four full level-loop cycles. Load time tracking shows an average of just 8.4 seconds from menu to playable compared to 14.7 seconds on the stock drive—a solid 42.9% improvement. Switch to framerate monitoring and the overall average locks in at 59.3 fps with 1% lows sitting at 57.1 fps—virtually no perceptible dips. Zoom into the frame-time distribution and the vast majority of intervals cluster tightly around 16.7 ms, with only 0.8% exceeding 18 ms. Replay the heavy underground facility sequence; even during intense texture streaming the lowest dip holds at 56.8 fps and visuals remain buttery without tearing. Peak temperature only reaches 51.9°C, well within the PS5’s cooling capability. Disable performance mode and rerun the same sequence—the curve stays equally smooth, confirming excellent compatibility. Across the full test suite this SSD transforms the PS5 version from load-wait frustration into near-instant responsiveness, massively boosting immersion once those long gaps disappear.
